British Manor Murder (A Lucy Stone Mystery, #23) By Leslie Meier ebook 0758277121 9780758277121 Mystery Thrillers British Manor Murder (A Lucy Stone Mystery, #23) “Reading a new Lucy Stone mystery is like catching up with a dear old friend.” —Kate Carlisle, New York Times bestselling author It’s a nippy spring in Tinker’s Cove, Maine, and so Lucy Stone can’t wait to join her friend Sue at the Earl of Wickham’s manor in England for the “Heads Up!” hat exhibition—even if she has to spend her entire holiday curtseying. But at Moreton Manor, privileged life isn’t always tea and crumpets . Although Perry, the earl of the house, and his sister, Poppy, are surprisingly accommodating to their jetlagged guests, Lucy feels uneasy after a fallen portrait sparks talk of a deadly family omen. The bad vibes come in quickly—snobby Aunt Millicent and her handmaiden Harrison unexpectedly drop by for the exhibition, and meals with the family are consistently tense. But real trouble begins when a body, bludgeoned by the chapel’s gold plated reliquary, is found in a hidden, sealed off room. Stranger still, the corpse is identified as Harrison’s son, Cyril. Considering the weapon and the clandestine location, Lucy wouldn’t be shocked if the murder was an inside job. Cyril wasn’t exactly a gentleman, and it’s unclear what business he had on the property. Was the victim trying to make off with the family riches before meeting his end? Or was a scorned country squire looking to settle an ancient indiscretion for good? One thing’s for sure—the criminal is privy to Moreton Manor secrets . To end the reign of terror, Lucy must keep her ear to the ground and mind time honored traditions—no matter how unusual. Because Lucy has a hunch that the killer has been in her company all along, just waiting for a chance to make blueblood run red . Praise for Leslie Meier and her Lucy Stone Mysteries  “I like Lucy Stone a lot, and so will readers.” —Carolyn Hart “Leslie Meier writes with sparkle and warmth.” — Chicago Sun Times “The Lucy Stone mysteries will appeal to fans of domestic mysteries.” — Booklist “Mothers everywhere will identify with Lucy Stone and the domestic problems she encounters.” — Publishers Weekly

British Manor murderious I received and ARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for my fair and honest review ebook This started off with hopes of being a good book The storyline seemed promising For one thing it took place in England and we didn t have to deal with Lucy s annoying friends and neighbors or her whiny snotty daughters Once again the author had to put in her political beliefs and pretty much mess it up She makes it out that if you re conservative you are old fashioned out of date and if you re progressive you re modern and trendy Gag Plus I didn t appreciate her take on American police killing innocent people in custody because they re black This author really needs to get her head out of her butt and get a clue The story dragged on and then once again wrapped up in one page with no suspense or Drama plus the Surprise ending about the famous guests was just silly and contrived It s time to let this series go It s become just downright ridiculous and a total waste of time ebook I have to admit it was the picture of two corgis on the cover that attracted me to want to pick up this series book But.

British manor murderi investigation Failing solving the case like a pro Lucy Stone didn t make much sense of her presence in England What I mean by that is there should have been a catalyst to explain the rush of quickening events just when our two ladies from the US arrive at the mansion Suffice to say there s no such explanation It s just a big coincidence that Lucy and Sue reach the manor just when things come to a boil It didn t bother me that much but it s a detail worth mentioning.
